Scanning to a file

1. Load the originals that are to be scanned face-up in the automatic document feeder

(ADF) input tray. Adjust the media guides to hold the originals in place.

OR

Lift the flatbed scanner lid and load the original that is to be scanned face-down on the
flatbed scanner with the upper-left corner of the document at the lower-right corner of
the glass. Gently close the lid.

2. If the device is connected directly to your computer, the HP Director opens after you

insert an item into the ADF input tray.

OR

If you are scanning from the flatbed scanner (or if the HP Director does not automatically
open), double-click the desktop alias for the HP Director.

3. In the HP Director, click HP LaserJet Scan. A preview scan of the original appears.

4. Click the Save As icon.

5. Enter a name for the file and a file type.

6. Click Save. The original is scanned and saved.

7. Click Done to close HP LaserJet Scan.

Scanning to a software program

To scan to a software program, you scan an item using the program itself. Any TWAIN-
compliant program can scan an image. If the program that you are using is not TWAIN-
compliant, you can save the scanned image to a file and then place, open, or import the file
in the software program. For more information, see

Scanning by using TWAIN-compliant and

WIA-compliant software
